Fountain of Youth

As we age, our collagen in our skin is broken down by repetitive UV exposure from the sun's rays. This process leads to thinner skin with textural irregularities, dark spots, and wrinkles. Since the turn of the century, platelet-rich plasma has been used in cosmetic surgery. Previously published scientific articles reveal biopsy-proven increases in new collagen formation and thickening of the epidermis of the skin with the topical application of growth factors. When the growth factors are derived from a patient's self-donated platelet-rich plasma, there is a potential to “drink from your own personal fountain of youth.” PRP plays a vital role in anti-aging aesthetics because of its potential ability to stimulate collagen, improve skin tone, reduce wrinkles, and reverse sun damage.

After collecting a small sample of blood, it is placed within a tube in a centrifuge. After spinning the tube for a period of time, the red blood cells sink to the bottom due to their higher density, while the plasma and platelets collect at the upper part of the tube. The PRP can then be transferred from the tube and immediately administered during an aesthetic procedure to produce collagen, smooth and tighten the skin, and create lift.* The Fountain of Youth Cosmetic Injectable Treatment with PRP is an all-natural means of facial rejuvenation.*
